Welcome To Rising Sun Cottage
In Bar Harbor, Maine (home of Acadia National Park), we designed our new 5400 square foot home (sleeps 12, with water and sunrise views from every bed) around seven principles of beauty and function: Views; Light; Color; Cooking & Dining; Comfort & Fun; Dog Friendly; and Work…
As your vacation home, Rising Sun Cottage offers: Panoramic views from up high on our cliff… Open ocean… Frenchman’s Bay… Spectacular sunrises and sunsets… Porcupine Islands… Egg Rock Lighthouse… Champlain Mountain… Gorgeous rock outcroppings… magnificent oak, maple and birch trees… Zen Garden… roses galore… charred remnants from the Great Fire of 1947… Bold, rocky ledges extending out into Frenchman’s Bay, with views unmatched by any other summer rental home on Mount Desert Island… dip your toes in the water… (or, if you’re a polar bear, swim)… tidal pools with mussels, anemones and all sorts of aquatic life… a miniature Thunder Hole… cobblestone beach… 330 feet of totally private shorefront… crashing surf (during and after rain or storms)… Ten minute walk and you’re in Acadia… 20 minute walk to the center of Bar Harbor (the most dog-friendly town in America)… 20 minute bike ride to Sand Beach… Almost all rooms have ocean views (living room, family room, sun room, kitchen, all bedrooms, and second floor bathrooms.) Like the rising sun, the walls, ceilings and floors of the entire house radiate light and color. Whether it be the rising sun, or the blue sky and mid-day sun, or the setting sun reflecting on the clouds, the interior of our home embraces the magic of nature’s majesty. During the night, the moonlight sparkles on the water, and from most of the beds, a blanket of stars fills the heart with wonder. Sweet Dreams… For the occasional times when Mount Desert Island experiences really hot weather, you'll love our central air conditioning. During cool days or nights of any season, our new hot tub, nestled in a cozy rock outcropping with views of Frenchman's Bay, offers yet another way to enjoy the acadian surroundings. And if you've brought your dogs, you can romp with them (or they can romp without you!) in their 1000 square foot enclosed dog run. But best of all, there is easy access to spectacular rocky ledges and the ocean. So walking or sitting on our rocks delights the senses at both high and low tide, in all seasons and weather. The silver linings of any “bad” weather are the crashing waves, the flying spray and the melodic sounds of the sea. We’re at the very end of a very private road; if privacy and security are important to you and your family, you’ll surely want to consider Rising Sun for your vacations throughout the year. By auto, eight hours from Manhattan; five hours from Boston; one hour from Bangor Airport; 25 minutes from Bar Harbor Airport. Enjoy exploring Rising Sun Cottage. We hope our home will be your home this summer and for many summers to come. Call 914.962.4432 or 914.588.1282 to book your most memorable vacation ever! |
